RussellItem Metadata only Black and White Biracial Marriage in the United States(The Family Journal, 2017) Robinson, MarlonThis article looks at marital quality in Black and White biracial marriage in the United States. It gives an overview of some of the statistics of Black and White biracial marriage. The current article also highlights variables associated with marital quality in Black and White biracial marriage such as racial differences, probability for divorce, racial identity, age, socioeconomic status, and number of children. Several practical suggestions for helping this population are pulled together at the end of the article.Item Metadata only Shared Leadership: A Rediscovery of an Old Paradigm and Its Historical Context(The Journal of Applied Christian Leadership, 2018) Robinson, MarlonThe paradigm shift in the leadership field has resulted in several contemporary approaches to leadership. These approaches focus on process as opposed to traits-the emphasis of the traditional approaches. The purpose of this article is to examine shared leadership: the historical background, biblical foundation, differences between traditional leadership and shared leadership, dissimilarities of shared leadership and teamwork, benefits and limitations, and shared leadership in practice. Several benefits of shared leadership are highlighted, such as increased trust among team members and performance improvement. While shared leadership has several advantages, leaders need to be aware that it does not fit for every context.Item Metadata only The Faith Factor: New Testament Cosmology in Its Historical Context(Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 2004) Burton, Keith AugustusItem Metadata only 1 Corinthians 11 and 14: How Does a Woman Prophesy and Keep Silence at the Same Time?(Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 2002) Burton, Keith AugustusItem Metadata only The Millennium: Transition to the Final Aeon(Andrews University Seminary Studies, 2000) Burton, Keith AugustusItem Metadata only The Decalogue as Essential Torah in Second Temple Judaism(Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 1998) Burton, Keith AugustusItem Metadata only For the Asian First and Then for the Westerner(1990) Stefanović, ZdravkoItem Metadata only Thematic Links Between the Historical and Prophetic Sections of Daniel(Andrews University Seminary Studies, 1989) Stefanović, ZdravkoItem Metadata only Daniel: A Book of Significant Reversals(Andrews University Seminary Studies, 1992) Stefanović, ZdravkoItem Metadata only The Great Reversal: Thematic Links between Genesis 2 and 3(Andrews University Seminary Studies, 1994) Stefanović, ZdravkoItem Metadata only “Go at Once!”: Thematic Reversals in the Book of Esther(The Asia Journal of Theology, 1994) Stefanović, ZdravkoItem Metadata only “One Greater than the Temple”: The Sermon on the Mount in the Early Palestinian Liturgical Setting(The Asia Journal of Theology, 1995) Stefanović, ZdravkoItem Metadata only Like Father, Like Son.

Method: Eighty-one churches located in the US southern region were divided between two intervention groups, with a control group of 24 churches from the same region. Primary outcome measures were study enrollment rates and questionnaire return rates between December 2003 and July 2004 as a proportion of church goal. Results: 9.3% of participants returning questionnaires selected a poster in preference to $10. Half of participants offered both monetary and art incentives indicated a poster selection. Crude questionnaire return rates were 57.4% for the pooled intervention churches and 38.2% for the control churches. Enrollment rates among those offered both incentives were significantly higher (p < 0.01) than when monetary incentives alone were offered after adjustment for church size, promotional dates, and average income of church members. Survey return rates were also higher in the churches offered both incentives (p = 0.04). Conclusion: These data suggest that the black art posters improved study enrollment and survey return rates. The relatively low rate of poster selection suggests that the art primarily influenced participation indirectly, by creating a more culturally inclusive image of the study.Item Metadata only Regional Differences in Attitudes That May Affect Health Behavior and Willingness to Participate in Research Among Black Seventh-day Adventists(Ethnicity & Disease, 2009) Lampkin, AndyObjective: To identify the attitudes and perceptions of Black Seventh-day Adventists regarding health research and the healthcare system in two regions of the United States. Design: Church members were selected from those who participated in the Adventist Health Study-2 (AHS-2) and those who chose not to participate. Participants were selected from two regions of the United States. Setting: Participants were interviewed in their churches, in their homes, and in the research study office at Loma Linda University. Interviews were done in the Western and Southern regions of the United States. Participants: 384 Black Seventh-day Adventists, aged >30 years. Main Outcome Measures: Responses to the structured interviews from those in the Western region were compared to those in the Southern region. Results: Those in the Southern region included more elderly subjects; they were more likely to own their home despite earning less; and were more likely to be married. Compared to the Western region participants, we found Southern participants to have greater participation in church activities, greater mistrust of the healthcare system and particular concerns about racial inequalities in care. In contrast, they also reported more positive experiences with their personal healthcare provider than Western participants. Southerners felt that they had greater control over their own health, perhaps in part due to a greater identification with the health teachings of the Adventist church. Conclusions: A number of clear differences were found between Black Adventist subjects living in either the Western or Southern regions of the United States. These factors should be considered carefully when planning the promotion for a research study.
